SAFETITUDE TRAINING AND CONSULTANCY

Safety culture is the attitude, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to safety in the workplace. Safety culture is a part of organizational culture, and has been described by the phrase "the way we do things around here". Most employers and employees in the area of safety will agree that the ultimate aim of a safety initiative is a “total safety culture” ; however, this concept is rarely defined. A total safety culture is a culture in which: a) Safety is integrated into all activities of the business as a ‘value ‘and not just a priority ; b) Individuals not only take responsibility for their own safety but safety of their co-workers also. c) All level of employee is willing and able to act on their sense of responsibility – they can go beyond the call of duty’- a situation called ‘actively caring’’ Ten indicators of a ‘total safety culture’ are as follows: 1. Top management’s commitment that supports maintaining and improving...

This time I wish to share something unusual!! Emotional Bank Account (EBA), I am going to share about is not anyway related to finance yet is more important than money actually. It is an  account of trust instead of money. It's an account based on how safe you feel with another person. With money you can buy any material things of your like but certainly not the relationship. You can build a true relationship with anyone only when you possess one with you. Our life is worth living because of we make and sustain many relations pertaining to personal, professional, business, societal or like many others.  Covey identifies six ways to make deposits (or reduce withdrawals): 1) Understanding the Individual: This means listening intently to what the other person is saying and empathizing with how they may feel. It’s important to care for others and act with kindness toward them. 2) Keeping Commitments: How do you feel when someone arrives right on time whe...

Hiring someone for imparting training or engaging some agency for their services in Safety/technical/commercial arena has been an important aspect of efficient business operation. That is why, there is huge potential on both sides (donor - acceptor) and one of the reason why market is flooded with offers on consultancy/training ranging from an individual to a big organization. While this is true that no services are viable without money preposition however the trend of exaggerating is never seen before. It is unlikely, that an organization that considers training & development a must for the growth of their business through individual development and invests a good amount of resources on it hardly ensures ROI (Return on Investment). So, you may see many organizations expending much on advertisement than striving to improve the quality of the training/services on offer by them. Its universal truth that any services provided purely on the monitory gain lacks quality in deliver...

It has been known to many and is proven scientifically otherwise that wearing SEAT BELT while driving reduces the risk of fatality. Even though as a reply to safety advice, one readily says following - which you can add if you have encountered with one: ·        driving for short distances ·        not driving on busy road ·        Use at Highways ·        keep speed in control ·        shouldn’t dirty my cloth ·        Having ample experience of driving ·        No enforcement at my place ·        Forgot to belt up ·        Will use next time ·        not coward ·        Can’t avoid what is allotted......

Thanks to safety professionals for responding to the topic “Why I called LTIFR a DECEPTIVE”. I judged from the responses I received that there is confusion in between Accident and Injury. As a matter of fact, many safety professional use these terms interchangeably but we need to have clear understanding about the both. Accident is an undesirable, unplanned and unwanted event that may results into some kind of loss. The loss may be in terms of first aid, disabling injury or fatal and also may be loss to asset/environment. So injury is one of the several losses post an accident. So in that sense, injury is aftermath of an accident. Now, what should we aim for prevention - Injury or Accident? Your answer must be Accident. Why, because of the following facts: There is very thin control on severity of an injury. An accident should not treated as minor or major based on the extent of injury sustained because it is merely a coincidence (someone may say it luck) after an accident. For ...

I have heard and it's true in my view too, that Safety person is the person who never wants an accident to happen and if something goes wrong, he feels very low.
